Do you remember when you figured out the Tooth Fairy wasn’t real? I’m sorry if it just happened when you read that opening sentence. It’s true, the Tooth Fairy isn’t real. It’s just a fun way for adults to buy children’s teeth. Being a parent is hard, you gotta get your kicks where you can.

Twitter user @RogueDadMD announced to his followers that his 9-year-old son had ruined his fun by figuring out the lie through some incredible deductive reasoning:

Just learned our 9y/o did an experiment on us. Lost tooth, told no one for 3d, kept tooth under his pillow. No $ . Then he tells us he lost the tooth, next night there is money under his pillow. Then confronted us with his scientific evidence that the tooth fairy isn’t real.

He already told my wife he has plans to decide if the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are real, so definitely major problems coming! On a semi-serious note, I’ve always wondered if believing in Santa etc as kids leads people to doubt the existence of God later

Whoa, this is getting deep. And an interesting study into “ruining stuff” traditions:

Ha! I’m Muslim and never believed in Santa. In fact, the first and only time I got called to the principal’s office was because I told my Christian classmates he wasn’t real in the first grade. I still believe in God though!

I grew up in 100% Muslim home, didn’t celebrate any Christian holidays, but tooth fairy did visit us and Halloween was a must. My wife is Christian so my kids get visits from the creatures that hated me

There were a few people who disagreed with the kid’s scientific methods. They didn’t go far enough:

yeah my only critique would be that he should’ve done it for a few teeth to see if his results held! But what kid can delay gratification? I’m 33 and I barely can. Clearly your son is a natural scientist!

Much of the talk in Washington D.C. has been of Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff’s tell-all book from within the walls of the Trump White House. One of the book’s most significant claims is that many of Trump’s closest staff believe his mental acuity is slipping.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly attempted to replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which he claims is “failing.” His latest attempt was shut down by Arizona Republican John McCain, as well as fellow Republican Senators Susan Collins, of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska.

Only 24% of Americans supported the Graham-Cassidy bill, according to a poll by Public Policy Polling. And this week, a poll by the Washington Post and ABC revealed that only 26% of Americans believe Trump is handling health care effectively.

It makes sense then that at the start of Obamacare’s new enrollment cycle on November 1, people were signing up at a far greater pace than last year. According to the Centers on Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), 464,140 customers renewed their coverage and another 137,322 customers enrolled for the first time in the first four days of 2017.

Some 1,008,281 customers signed up in the first 12 days of 2016. Crunch those numbers, and there were 150,366 enrollments per day in 2017, compared with 84,018 in 2016.

Though it’s worth reiterating that we’re comparing the first four days of 2017 with the first 12 days of 2016, which is the earliest set of data available for 2016. Things may change when more data is available for 2017.

The enrollment period is far shorter this year, ending on December 15th. In 2016, people had three months to sign up. The administration has also slashed the advertising budget for enrollment by 90%, which has led experts to believe that enrollment as a whole might slump.

President Trump has also cut off cost-sharing payments owed to insurers, meaning premiums for some of those on the marketplace have risen.

The apparent surge in the popularity of Obamacare, despite President Trump claiming the program was in a “death spiral,” has left many on social media confused.

But Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms, thinks that at the end of the day, people just want good health care that they can afford:

The Great American Eclipse is happening NOW, people (or it already happened. I don’t know when you’re reading this!). And the great thing about this eclipse is that while in the past, people had to just go “wow” at how beautiful it all is, now we can livetweet the eclipse for all our friends, for it is 2017 and America is already great.

And yeah, the eclipse is stunning, but not even as much as this joke, let’s be real.

Amazon Alexa is one of the gadgets that everyone has to own this Christmas. Basically, it’s an AI that you can ask to do pretty much anything. From ordering items off the internet, turn the lights off and on, and in the case of one family, playing music.

Reddit user zevets got his own Alexa for Christmas, and the kids are obsessed with it. His toddler likes to yell at it to play “Digger Digger” which I assume is a song the kids are listening to these days. That was until it returned a very inappropriate response. There’s some NSFW language in the video, so you have been warned.

The Troll beads company is a very family orientated business, with various members of the Nielsen-Aagaards taking responsibility for different aspects of the company. Such closely knit family businesses are difficult to come by today, as finding a part of the company which would be suitable for each individual family member can be difficult, but with so many different skills needed from gold smithing to design, there appears to be a place for everyone in the Nielsen-Aagard family.

The story of the Troll bead begins in Copenhagen in 1976, when silversmith Søren Nielsen fashioned the first ever bead from silver. Named “The Mask” due to its six faces, each of which had a different expression, the bead was to become the first of many. They went on sale in the Copenhagen jewellery shop owned by Søren’s father Svend, and by the 1980s, sister Lise Aagard had opened a second store and was soon exporting Trollbeads to various countries the world over.

The unique design also lends something to the popularity of Trollbeads. The bracelets, which apart from the original material leather can also be made from silver and gold, are also made with a removable clasp, which means that each Troll bead is interchangeable. Different colour and bead combinations can then either be added or removed. The versatility of the bracelet has made them incredibly popular, and many comparisons have been made between traditional charm bracelets and the Troll beads bracelets owing to the ability for the wearer to compose their own personal “story” on their bracelet, by for instance adding a bracelet denoting a special occasion, event or milestone.

Since self-expression has become so popular in recent years, perhaps it not all that surprising to learn that the Troll bead has made a comeback in such a big way. Their universality means that they can be worn by both sexes, and their ability to look simultaneously classic and contemporary means that they can be worn by people with a wide range of different tastes.

Trollbeads make ideal personal gifts for family and friends. There are themed beads available referencing a huge range of subjects for those who are looking to “build a bracelet” which means something personal to them. Apart from the beautiful handmade Murano glass beads which are available as well as fresh water pearls and spacer or stopper beads, there is also a huge range of different gold and silver beads. The design of the Troll bead is also immensely versatile, as the bead is large enough to be formed into a variety of different recognizable designs, but also small enough to fit on to a bracelet. Various designs include animals, plants, mythological figures, references to astronomy, science, music, mythology and even origami as well as simple everyday objects, meaning that the wearer can create their own Trollbeads “story” and wear something which is unique and personal to them.
